One of the best difficulties of solar cells is the Shockley-Queisser restriction, the presumption that there is a basic limit for energy a solar cell can absorb and also convert into functional energy. College of Oklahoma physicist Ian Sellers is showing that the commonly held assumption is false.

Using a new method, physicists from TU Freiberg, together with researchers from Berkeley and Hamburg, are for the very first time evaluating at the femtosecond range the processes in a version system for natural solar cells This can be utilized to develop high-performance as well as reliable solar cells. Trick to this are ultra-fast flashes of light, with which the team led by Dr. Friedrich Roth operates at FLASH in Hamburg, the globe's initial free-electron laser in the X-ray area.

Ørsted is broadening its solar footprint with the procurement of the 227 MW a/c unfinished Muscle Shoals solar project found in Alabama, US.

Recent battery plant blazes and a hydrogen station blast have again raised questions about the safety of energy storage technologies.

Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (* 1) have obtained much attention as possible future generation solar cells and also as materials for light-emitting devices.

Walmart has stopped a court accusation it started against Tesla in August, when it associated a string of store fires to the Musk’s alleged carelessness with solar installs.

The corporate giant is creating three utility-scale solar arrays in Spain and USA within the framework of its green power plans.

FlexiDAO is using its software to track the production of solar power from four PV plants in the nation, combined with the UN Development Program.

Genex Power, ASX-listed power generation development company, has secured US$117m of investment for financing a new venture and refinancing an existing facility, both located in Australia, with 50 megawatts of capacity each.

Renewables driver Encavis has struck the accelerator on two significant solar projects in Spain beleaguered by COVID delays as it seeks to capitalise on revenue growth.

Tandem cells combine 2 various semiconductors that convert various parts of the light spectrum into electric power. Metal-halide perovskite substances primarily make use of the noticeable parts of the spectrum, while CIGS semiconductors convert rather the infrared light.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) says the expense per megawatt to build solar plants is listed below nonrenewable fuel sources worldwide for the very first time. Public success tales like Elon Musk's solar as well as wind battery farm in Australia have actually helped move public view. All 4 IEA situations consist of a mix of renewables in addition to nuclear and the globe's continuing to be nonrenewable fuel source plants.

The energy ministry has published a plan to radically simplify the renewable energy permitting process. The new system is expected to come into force as early as next month and will be applied retroactively to address a 22-month backlog in generation license applications.

The glut of home-generated electrical power there holds lessons for the future of distributed energy generation.
